On Tuesday, Keir Starmer dangled the prospect of recognising Palestinian statehood out as a diplomatic bargaining chip. Starmer’s crocodile tears have fooled nobody. It is actions, not words, that matter in politics.

The hypocrisy of the British state, from the BBC blocking their own commissioned documentaries about Gaza, to the Met police arresting elderly people for their opposition to genocide, is Orwellian. Their dishonesty stinks!

As Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza escalates, the British establishment is clamping down ever-harder on Palestine activists. The labour movement must mobilise against imperialism and repression, and organise to overthrow the war criminals.
